Hello all,
It's been a while. In view of attempting to read and study my Bible more regularly, I decided to do a blog series on the Gospel of John, a book I am now going through in my devotional. This is one of my favorite books of the Bible. I do not know long this will take, but I like writing blogs, so I hope you all enjoy.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the
beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life,
and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome[a] it.
a. John 1:5, or understood
My thoughts: Jesus, the word, is God. He is eternal, one with the father, yet with the father as a distinct person. God created the world by speaking it into existence, therefore, EVERYTHING was created through the Word. Jesus' essence is the first thing that was created through him-LIGHT. His essence is also life, another thing that was created through him. This life is the light of man, and darkness-dwellers cannot understand light, and therefore cannot overcome it.
